‘Barbie’ takes the box office crown and ‘Oppenheimer’ soars in a historic weekend

When all is settled, it will likely turn out to be the fourth biggest box office weekend of all time with over $300 million industrywide. Internationally, “Barbie” earned $182 million from 69 territories, fueling a $337 million global weekend. “Oppenheimer” did $93.7 million from 78 territories, ranking above “Barbie” in India, for a $174.2 million global total. The only real casualty was “Mission: Impossible: Dead Reckoning Part I,” which despite strong reviews and a healthy opening weekend fell 64% in weekend two. Fans go out in style to watch the year’s most unlikely double feature - “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” on opening night in Los Angeles.
